Only a month after unveiling the regular Caliber, Dodge already trotted out the SRT version, the Caliber SRT4, at the Chicago auto show. The hot hatch features a turbocharged version of Chrysler's new 2.4-liter DOHC four.

The engine makes 300 hp (at 6000 rpm) and 260 lb-ft of torque (at 2000-6000 rpm), which it sends through a six-speed manual transmission to the front wheels.
The standard Caliber's optional all-wheel drive won't be offered on the SRT4, but the SRT4 does have a limited slip differential and equal-length half shafts. Chrysler claims the 3189-lb SRT4 can blast from 0 to 60 mph in under 6 seconds.
